Chapter 130 Brother Yu, you must learn to exercise restraint!
"Yes, sir."
The girl bowed slightly and asked softly:
"Should I give it to you now, or wait until the auction ends?"
"Let's pay them all at once after the auction!"
After a moment's thought, Yu Tianyun responded.
"Ahem!"
Xue Qinghe coughed lightly, covering his mouth, his face slightly flushed, his eyes carrying a strange and teasing look, and said:
"Brother Yu, as your elder brother, I must remind you, young man, you must learn to exercise restraint!"
"..."
These words instantly silenced Yu Tianyun. He hesitated, unsure of how to begin.
He wanted to explain, but he couldn't reveal the correct way to use whale glue. If he didn't explain, wouldn't that be the same as letting Xue Qinghe think that he was inadequate in that area and had to rely on drugs to satisfy the opposite sex?
Moreover, Xue Qinghe is actually Qian Renxue in disguise; she is a woman!
Being misunderstood like this by a woman, Yu Tianyun felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart, driving him to madness and leaving him speechless with despair.
Yu Tianyun took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down, and forced a smile as he said, "Brother Qinghe, you've misunderstood. The reason is really inconvenient to explain."
A hint of suspicion flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, but he smiled faintly and said, "Brother Yu, is there anything between us that we can't talk about?"
Yu Tianyun shook his head helplessly, inwardly lamenting his predicament; he truly had no way to express his frustration.
At this moment, Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong covered their mouths and chuckled, their mischievous expressions making Yu Tianyun even more embarrassed.
He looked at Xue Qinghe with a meaningful look in his eyes and said solemnly, "Brother Qinghe, you will understand in the future. I really cannot explain it now."
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe stopped asking questions, but gave him a meaningful look and said, "Alright then, I hope it's true as you say."
Yu Tianyun's performance further convinced Xue Qinghe, also known as Qian Renxue, that he was all show and no substance, a useless fellow.
She felt a secret smugness, while inwardly complaining:
"He looks tall and strong, but he's actually short and weak. And yet he's so promiscuous; doesn't he worry about ruining himself? Disgusting! A complete scumbag!"
"However, given his lecherous nature, perhaps we could find a beautiful and talented woman from the Spirit Hall to seduce him and maybe win him over! After all, he's so 'weak,' and Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong might leave him in the future."
The four continued strolling through the auction house, but Yu Tianyun had lost his earlier enthusiasm. The occasional teasing glances from Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles. He secretly vowed to teach them a lesson when they got back.
After browsing for a short while, the young waitress said timidly:
"Your Highness, gentlemen, and young lady, the auction is about to begin. Shall we proceed now?"
"Brother Yu, shall we go over there now?" Xue Qinghe asked with a smile.
Yu Tianyun's perception was extremely sharp. He clearly saw a hint of mockery flash deep in Xue Qinghe's eyes. He was furious, but on the surface he remained calm and said coldly, "Go."
Before long, the group arrived at a room that was slightly smaller than the previous hall; this was the auction center.
After leading the four of them here, the girl bowed and took her leave; there were other staff members at the auction center.
Compared to the girl who had guided him before, the attire of the waitresses here instantly brightened Yu Tianyun's mood.
Both are white outfits, both are dresses, but they give off completely different vibes.
The auction center's staff were all women, similar in height to the girl who had led the way before, but with much hotter figures.
Their white dresses, with their wide-open necklines and sleeveless design, featured short hems that barely covered their hips, revealing their fair, smooth, and glossy thighs. Paired with white high heels, they exuded endless allure.
The deep, alluring cleavage on her chest and the pert, rounded buttocks beneath her short skirt were enough to ignite the imagination.
Yu Tianyun subconsciously glanced at it a few more times, a barely perceptible fervor flashing in his eyes as the beautiful white expanse came into view.
The voluptuous waitresses immediately bowed to Xue Qinghe, who, not wanting to attract attention, went directly into a private room on the second floor.
The first floor outside the private rooms is divided into five areas, distinguished by the color of the spirit rings, from the inside out: red, black, purple, yellow, and white.
The receptionist had previously told them that red represented VIPs with status and assets in the millions; black represented ordinary VIPs with assets in the millions, where only money mattered and status was disregarded; purple represented VIPs with assets in the 500,000s; yellow represented VIPs with assets in the 100,000s; and white represented the most ordinary VIPs with assets in the 10,000s.
The red area on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor have the same VIP level, but some VIPs who do not want to attract attention will choose the quieter private rooms.
As time went by, the many seats on the first floor gradually filled with people.
A moment later, a conservatively dressed, elegant and poised female auctioneer stepped onto the auction stage, and the auction officially began.
The first item up for auction was a bracelet-like storage soul tool with only seven cubic meters of space, and the price immediately reached ten thousand gold soul coins.
With the auctioneer's gavel falling, the storage bracelet soul tool was finally acquired by a plump noblewoman for 100,000 gold soul coins.
Clearly, this voluptuous young woman wasn't interested in the size of the storage soul tool, but rather in the bracelet's exquisite and beautiful appearance.
Yu Tianyun shook his head, sighing inwardly:
"Sure enough, it's easy to make money off women who haven't seen the world. My Rongrong and Yanyan don't even look down on such ordinary things."
The auction was still going on, but Yu Tianyun, Dugu Yan, and Ning Rongrong were all rather uninterested. All three of them had extremely high standards, and even the appearance of a treasure of the level of a ten-thousand-year soul bone could hardly arouse their interest.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe asked with slight surprise, "Brother Tianyun, Rongrong, Miss Dugu Yan, why haven't you made a move yet? Haven't you found anything you like? If you don't act soon, this auction will be over!"
Yu Tianyun shook his head and sighed softly, answering on behalf of the two women: "Brother Qinghe, to be honest, the items mentioned earlier are far too ordinary for the three of us. Now we can only look at the final few treasures."
Xue Qinghe felt a little helpless. He knew that these things were indeed unremarkable to the identities of the three people in front of him.
But these were all carefully selected by him, each one exquisitely crafted and beautiful. He had originally hoped to attract the three men with their unique craftsmanship, but now it seems he can only pin his hopes on the final, grand finale.
However, the performance of Yu Tianyun and the other two continued to disappoint him.
Throughout the entire auction, neither Yu Tianyun nor the other two participated in the bidding, including for the last item, a soul bone from the left leg of a 20,000-year-old scaled beast.
This infuriated Xue Qinghe. Although he himself didn't think much of the soul bone, he hadn't expected Yu Tianyun and the other two to be so calm. Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan shouldn't look down on the soul bone; the reason must be related to Yu Tianyun.
This only made him more curious about Yu Tianyun.
"Yu Tianyun must have given them something better! There's a secret involved!" Xue Qinghe wondered to himself.
The one who ultimately won the bid for this soul bone was none other than Xue Qinghe, who directed and acted in the whole thing.
In fact, Yu Tianyun himself didn't care about this soul bone at all. He had already planned to absorb a soul bone with a minimum age of 100,000 years, and one with powerful skills.
As for his woman, Yu Tianyun felt there was no need to rush, since he was sure he would encounter better soul bones in the future. It would be too regrettable to waste his current opportunity and miss out on a better soul bone.
Although he could help them regenerate limbs to replace their soul bones, the process was extremely painful, and he couldn't bear to let his wife suffer that pain.
Of course, the last and most important point is that it would be great if this soul bone were given away for free. After all, the price that Xue Qinghe ultimately paid for this soul bone was 30 million gold soul coins, which Yu Tianyun felt was not worth it.
The two women didn't react because they saw that Yu Tianyun was unmoved. However, Ning Rongrong was clearly tempted, as this soul bone was indeed quite suitable for her.
Furthermore, Yu Tianyun found it somewhat strange that a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was extremely precious and might not be encountered at an auction for a very long time.
Therefore, he suspected that Xue Qinghe had other motives.
